Yay you guys at the best! I told him that this idea would promote more donations. See dad?

Now let's get down to business. The plan is to first nominate characters you want my dad to dress as. He gets to veto one and so do I. We'll keep this going until we have about ten or so valid picks, maybe more. Then we vote. The winning character will be what my dad wears to BronyCon, and does a complete vlog/blog series about completing it. I haven't decided if you guys will vote for the specific outfit or not. That will probably depend on the character. If I am being honest, it will be easier on me if I can create a Equestria Girls version out of the selection. There are some general rules here.

This is MLP specific.

My dad will at least have to be in cosplay at the con for four hours.

My dad will attempt to stay in-character at the con.

A vlog/blog must be posted every two weeks by my dad. If he misses a submission not due to health or act of Celestia then various challenges will need to be performed. Things like getting someone to take a photo with him, maybe even a costume change at one point. I'm open to suggestions for this one. Limited to three costume changes for the character.

No infant characters pls thx

No inanimate characters.

Pets are okay I suppose.

The cosplay has to be con appropriate.

While I may try and make custom pieces, if I run into issues, we may wind up commissioning something. I'm thinking a hat or accessory like a staff or such. I'm never sewn a hat so while I can try, I don't want to be bashing my in head wasting fabric and such.

Costuming, accessories, wigs, and makeup (if applicable to the character) will be specific to the canon character. Basically, I'm going all in on this hoping that it doesn't wind up looking like a train wreck.

Ummmm. I think that's it. I can answer questions and such, or my dad can and he'll relay then answer. Also, he is being a great sport about this. I almost feel bad. Almost.

We all know Trixie is best choice, she is the Greatest and Powerfullest
she has a variety of equestria girl's outfits, some of which don't have props like hats to make them a bit easier to make,
she has a song
but best of all, the "in character" part will be awesome
